Vital Statistics
Vital statistics — i.e. records of births, deaths
and marriages — are in some senses the most
fundamental of all figures published about a
country. They provide information which is
of great value to the medical profession and
public health authorities in their continuing
fight against disease and premature death,
and they assist in making accurate estimates
of the population in the years between the
decennial censuses.
The analysis of death certi-
ficates by cause, sex and age
gives valuable information
regarding trends in infan t
and maternal mortality, and
deaths from communicable
diseases and other causes
such as cancer, diabetes, etc.
As an example, a study of the
statistics shows that from
1921 to 1947 infant mortality
dropped from 102 deaths per
thousand live births to 45 per
thousand, while during the
same period maternal mor-
tality fell from 5 deaths per
thousand live births to 1.5.
During the past two decades
the mortality rate of four
important communicable
diseases — diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles, and whooping
cough — has declined by over
80 per cent.
The size and rate of growth — or decline — of
a country's population is basic to the inter-
pretation of most economic statistics. This
does not mean, of course, that there is any
simple correlation between the size of popu-
lation and the degree of prosperity enjoyed in a
country; many intricate and highly complex
factors enter into the picture. It is, however,
to take one illustration, important to know
not only the increase or decrease in the national
income but the relationship of that change
to the growth or decline in the population,
NOTICE
To bring the descriptive
date of each issue of the
Canadian Statistical Review
to a closer conformity with
the publication date this
issue, which follows by one
month the November, 1948
issue, is designated January,
1949, rather than December,
1948. This change is en-
tirely one of nomenclature
and in no way affects the
continuity of the publica-
tion or the number of issues
that subscribers will receive.
so that the trend in the average national
income per head of population can be estab-
lished.
Again, changes in the marriage rate and in
the birth rate are of considerable importance
in forecasting the probable level of construction
activity, with its important bearing on other
economic activities. An increase in the number
of marriages is likely to mean that more homes
will be needed, and an increase in the birth
rate indicates that attendance
at primary schools will in-
crease in five or six years time
and at high schools in thir-
teen or fourteen years, and
that the demand for other
facilities will tend to. rise as
time goes on. The effect of a
decrease in the marriage or
birth rate will obviously have
the opposite implications.
(The chart on page iv shows
the trend in the Canadian
birth and death rates and the
rate of natural increase
during the past 23 years.)
Other factors, of course,
have to be taken into account
when estimating the effects
of these changes. For
example, the incidence of
marriages on the demand
for houses is apt to be less
during a depression because
the couple may for a time live with one of their
families. The pressure on schools is apt to
follow fairly closely a rise in the birth rate,
taking the country as a whole, but for partic-
ular localities it may be intensified or mini-
mized by movements of population from one
area to another. Nevertheless, a knowledge
of population trends, of changes in the birth
and death rates, and of interprovincial shifts
promotes a clearer and more accurate inter-
pretation of developments in the Canadian
economy.
How the Statistics Are Collected
and Compiled
As provided under the Statistics Act of 1918,
which established the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, and as the result of two Dominion-
Provincial Conferences on vital statistics held
at Ottawa in June and December, 1918, a plan
was devised whereby the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics and the vital statistics offices in
each province would co-operate in the produc-
tion of national vital statistics. Under this
national system, while registration of births,
still-births, marriages and deaths was to be
carried out as heretofore by the provincial
authorities, the legislation of each province
conformed in essential features to a Model
Vital Statistics Act — one of the features of
which was compulsory registration — adopted
by the 1918 Conference. Each province now
has its own Act; it has complete jurisdiction
over the registration of vital events and operates
under its particular Act according to its own
particular needs and policies. However, by
virtue of the 1918 Dominion-Provincial agree-
ment, vital statistics can be compiled on a
uniform basis for the Dominion as a whole.
Modern equipment and organization has
been applied during the past few years to give
Canada one of the most up-to-date systems of
recording vital statistics. This was necessary
because of the urgent demands for making
information from the registrations more readily
and currently available. The registration rec-
ords are microfilmed at the provincial vital
statistics offices and forwarded to the Bureau
at regular periods for two purposes; first, the
preparation of indexes containing the name of
the individual, the place and date of the birth,
marriage or death, and other essential facts;
and second, the compilation and tabulation of
national statistics of births, stillbirths, mar-
riages and deaths (including causes of death),
which are published by numerous classifi-
cations and cross-classifications, as will be
discussed later.
Up to 1944 vital statistics were compiled
according to the place or province in which
the births, marriages or deaths occurred;
since that time birth statistics have been
compiled according to the place of residence of
the parents of the child and deaths according
to the place of residence of the deceased. This
change is of great importance in social analysis.
For example, to study the relative trends in
rural and urban fertility one needs to know
the residence of the parents rather than the
fact that the mother chose to go into a city or
town hospital to have her baby. Equally, in
compiling comparative figures of provincial
birth and death rates, place of residence and
not place of occurrence is the important fact.
Figures on divorce are received through the
co-operation of the provincial authorities;
however statistics of divorces granted to
Quebec residents are supplied by the Clerk of
the Divorce Committee of the Senate of
Canada. The national reporting of commu-
nicable diseases was undertaken by the Domi-
nion Bureau of Statistics in 1933 at the request
of the Department of Pensions and National
Health and in co-operation with the provincial
departments of health. The provincial depart-
ments forward to the Bureau weekly state-
ments of the number of communicable diseases
reported, which are then compiled and
published for the Dominion as a whole.
Annual Estimates of Population
The method used in calculating the number
of people in Canada in the years between the
censuses is in effect a population accounting
system, with the census providing a fresh
starting point every tenth year. For each year
the number of births and immigrants during
the year (the latter recorded by the Immigra-
tion Branch of the Department of Mines and
Resources) provides the gross increase, and from
this the number of deaths and Canadian emi-
grants are deducted to give the net increase.
The volume of emigration is obtained from
records of the U.S. and U.K. Governments
giving the number of Canadians entering those
countries, plus an estimate made by the Bureau
of those leaving Canada for other countries.
This calculation may be carried out separately
for each age group and each sex in the country.
The calculation of provincial populations is
somewhat more difficult than for- Canada as a
whole, particularly for years in which there is
a large movement of population within the
country. Until 1947 there was no uniform
meth od of estimating interprovincial move-
ments, and ration card counts, school popula-
n
tions and other indicators were each resorted
to at different times. Starting in 1947, however,
the regular June labour force survey was enlarged
so as to ask each person interviewed where he
was living twelve months previously, and from
this material reliable estimates of the gross
and net interprovincial movements are made. 1
These, together with figures for births and
deaths in each province, permit estimates of
provincial populations to be calculated along
the lines described above.
Reports on Vital Statistics
The Monthly Report on Births, Marriages
and Deaths gives the total of each event regis-
tered during the month, by provinces and for
Canada as a whole, while another monthly
report, Registration of Births, Deaths and
Marriages gives this information by cities and
towns for all those places with a population of
10,000 or over. These two reports will shortly
be combined to form one publication. Figures
taken from the first of these reports, together
with population estimates, will be found in
table 4 of the Canadian Statistical Review. A
quarterly Premilinary Report on Births, Deaths
and Marriages gives a summary of births, deaths
and marriages occurring in each quarter of the
year, by provinces. The report also includes
special tabulations of infant, neo-natal, and
maternal deaths and cross-classifications of
general mortality by causes of death.
Three annual reports are issued. The first to
appear in the Preliminary Annufd Report, Vital
Statistics of Canada, Tentative Figures. It is
published shortly after the close of the year and
contains tables of births, deaths and marriages,
infant and maternal deaths, and the number
of communicable diseases. Certain of the infor-
mation is listed for the larger cities. The Preli-
minary Annual Report, Vital Statistics of
Canada, Final Figures, is, as the name implies,
the final tabulation in summary form, and is
a revised and enlarged version of the former
report, containing an extensive section on the
causes of death. The final report, entitled
(1) The technique employed in making labour force
surveys and estimates was described in the April, 1948
issue of the Canadian Statistical Review.
simply Vital Statistics, represents a detailed
report with extensive cross-classifications and
tabulations. It contains over 700 pages of com-
parative and analytical tables giving a wealth
of information on births, marriages, deaths,
and communicable diseases.
Other Reports
Intercensal estimates of population are pub-
lished in the late summer of each year in a
one-page mimeographed report Population of
Canada, by Provinces, Estimated for Intercensal
Years. An extension of this publication is a
special report Census and Estimated Popula-
tions of Canada and the Provinces by Sex and
Age Groups 1931-48 which was issued to meet
the requirements of provincial and municipal
health authorities and will be kept up-to-date.
The report on Dissolution of Marriages (Di-
vorces) in Canada gives in addition to divorce
rates and cross-classifications by sex of divor-
cees in each province statistics on the remar-
riage of divorced persons, and comparisons
between Canada and other countries in respect
to number of dissolutions, covering the last
two decades.
A number of special reports have also been
issued. Violent Deaths in Canada gives the
number and rates of suicides, homicides and
accidental deaths. Cancer Mortality in Canada
covers the period 1921-44 and gives the rates,
effects of age and sex distribvition, sites of
disease and geographical incidence. The Vital
Statistics Handbook and Physician's Pocket
Reference to the International List of Causes
of Death are printed booklets designed primarily
for the information and guidance of profes-
sional groups. The Health Reference Book
includes a compilation of statistical data and
background material concerning Canadian
health services, a review of Dominion, provin-
cial and local health programs and related
financial information. Canadian Life Tables
have been published three times ; the third was
for 1945 and the fourth, for 1947, is now in the
process of preparation. They are based on popu-
lation and death figures and show how a con-
ventional number of births (usually 100,000)
is, age by age, reduced by deaths.

Current Economic Conditions
Since the last issue of this Review some
indicators of trends in industrial and trade
activities have remained stable or receded
slightly but most have continued to move
upward. The cost-of-living index which had
remained unchanged from October 1 to
November 1 at 159.6 declined to 158.9 as at
December 1. This was the first decline since
September, 1945, apart from a drop of 0.1 on
January 1, 1947. The fall was entirely in the
price of foodstuffs, with all other items remain-
ing stable or rising slightly. The food index
stood at 202.0 on December 1 compared with
204.7 on November 1 and 205.4 on October 1.
The seasonally adjusted index of the physical
volume of production (1935-1939 = 100) stood
at 185.5 for November, almost unchanged from
the October revised figure of 185.4. This is the
highest peacetime figure achieved in the history
of the country. The comparable figure for
November, 1947, was 177.8. The index of manu-
facturing production stood at 197.3 for Novem-
ber compared to 197.1 for October with that
for non-durable products rising from 181.4
to 183.6 while the durable goods mark declined
from 223.9 to 220.9. The index of electrical
power production was off rather sharply at
157.1 as compared with 165.4, the figure for
October. The November, 1947, mark was 156.0.
A survey of the civilian labour force indicates
that between September 4 and November 20
it dropped from an estimated 5,109,000 to
4,964,000, thus falling below an estimated five
million for the first time since the survey made
in February, 1948. The return of a substantial
number of previously employable persons
between the ages of 14 and 21 years to school
or college and the seasonal movement of women
from farm work to housekeeping were, it is
thought, the prime contributory factors in
this reduction. Although there was an increase
of 75,000 in employment in non -agricultural
activities during the period covered by the
survey, total unemployment increased by
approximately 40,000 to reach an estimated
106,000. The number of persons employed in
agricultural pursuits dropped, as a result of
the seasonal decline in farming activities, from
an estimated 1,250,000 to about 986,000.
Canadian labour income for the month of
October was estimated at $637 million. This
is $27 million lower than the estimated $664
million for September but the latter included
payment of $31 million in retroactive wages to
the employees of the Canadian railway systems.
Apart from this lump-payment in September,
the October figure would be a new high for
any single month. The ten-month payments
of wages, salaries and supplemental labour
income is estimated at $5,879 million, about
15 per cent above the $5,117 million for the
same period of 1947.
Both employment and payrolls in the eight
major industries reached new high levels on
November 1. The employment index (June 1,
1941 = 100) was at 133.3, up from 133.1 on
October 1 and 129.5 for November, 1947; aggre-
gate weekly payrolls (on the same base) stood
at 217.8 compared with 215.7 for October and
189.7 for November, 1947; and average weekly
earnings were $42.16 for November, up from
$41.80 for October and $37.79 for November,
1947. On June 1, 1941, they were $25.25.
Over 75,000 New Dwelling Units
New dwelling units completed during 1948
will certainly exceed 75,000 and will probably
reach the 76,500 mark, on the basis of the most
recent Dominion Bureau of Statistics housing
survey. The construction industry started its
1948 operations with 42,215 units under con-
struction and by November 30 had completed
68,103 units with a further 61,093 still under
construction. A "dwelling unit" for the pur-
poses of the survey is defined as the living
quarters occupied by one household or family.
Thus the number of dwelling units in any one
structure is the number of separate households
it is designed to accommodate.
During November 21 per cent of all comple-
tions were built, from start to finish, within
90 days and a further 50 per cent between 90
and 180 days. Thus many of the 61,093 units
under construction at November 30 should
have been brought to completion during the
month of December. A survey of the comple-
tions for this month has not, however, as yet
been completed. Further strengthening the
estimate of over 75,000 completions for 1948,
is the known fact that, for obvious reasons,
stress, during the winter months, is placed on
completing dwellings under construction
rather than on initiating new work. Dwelling
units completed during the three previous

years totalled 42,617 in 1945; 60,575 in 1946 and
72,346 in 1947.
The estimate of new dwelling units com-
pleted does not take into account the conver-
sion, to house a greater number of households,
of already existing buildings. Such conver-
sions during 1947 have been estimated as
housing for an additional 7,013 families, with
the two earlier years showing considerably
smaller totals. A preliminary estimate places
the number of units provided through con-
version in 1948 at slightly over 5,000.
Travellers Influence Dollar Exchange
A net credit of approximately $158 million in
visiting Americans' expenditure in Canada
over Canadian travel spending in the United
States during 1948 was an appreciable factor
in the improvement of our dollar position.
American visitors to Canada, some of them
entering this country for other purposes but
the majority being tourists, spent during the
past year about $270 million during their stay
while Canadians on similar trips to the United
States spent approximately $112 million.
American expenditures in Canada set a new
high record during the past year. Only in the
years 1946 and 1947 have U.S. spendings on
travel in Canada totalled more than $200
million, when they were $216 and $241 million
respectively. Canadian expenditures in the
United States, however, were sharply down in
1948 from the totals of $130 million in 1946 and
$152 million in 1947, due mainly to the restric-
tions on the amount of money available to
Canadians visiting the United States and to
the suspension — now removed — of the customs
regulation whereby $100 worth of goods could
be brought into this country free of duty by a
traveller who remained out of Canada for more
than 48 hours.
As a result of the simultaneous increase in
American spendings in Canada and decrease in
Canadian expenditure in the United States the
spread between these, or the net credit in
Canada's favour, exceeded any previously re-
corded. Only in the years 1929 and 1930 has
this credit reached $100 million and the $158
million recorded last year is slightly more than
double the $78 million average for the last 23
years. The credits accruing to Canada during
the years 1946 and 1947 amounted to $86 million
and $90 million respectively.
As a source of U.S. dollars the international
travel industry has, in recent years, ranked
VI
second only to the export of newsprint, and the
industry of catering to and supplying American
visitors to Canada has become one of major
importance. During the period 1926-1948 in-
clusive, it has been estimated that American
visitors have spent in Canada approximately
$3.3 billion while Canadians have spent
in the U.S. about $1.5 billion.
Secondary Advantages Gained
While the primary importance of American
travelling in Canada at the present time is the
gain of U.S. dollars it involves there are, never-
theless, secondary effects, economic, political
and cultural of great value to this country. The
influx of American visitors to Canada has given
the United States a better understanding of
our country, its contribution to the war effort,
its relation to the Commonwealth of Nations,
and its immediate problems.
Further, expenditures by those of the visitors
who may properly be classed as "tourists" are
made primarily in those parts of the country
which, while scenically attractive have few
other sources of revenue. In these areas hotels
and cabins have been built with a consequent
employment of labour; good roads have been
built to the advantage of all residents; stores
and shops carry, to the advantage of all, a large
variety of goods to offer the visitors; and, most
important, much remunerative work is found
in supplying goods and services to the tourists.
It can indeed be said that through the tourist
trade the whole standard of living in large
areas of Canada has been raised.
Mineral Production at All Time High
Canada's mines, wells and quarries produced
during 1948 minerals which had a dollar value
greatly exceeding that attained in any previous
year. Estimates, supplied by the producers
and combined by the Bureau of Statistics,
indicate that the value of the 1948 mineral
output will exceed $806 million, an increase of
25 per cent over the previous record of approx-
imately $645 million attained in 1947. Higher
values per unit produced and increased volume
of production combined to bring about the
new figure.
The accompanying table shows, for those
ten minerals which had in 1948 production
valued in excess of $25 million, and which make
up 84.5 per cent of the entire 1948 production
by value, the 1947 and 1948 volumes of produc-
tion and the rates of increase in the latter as
compared with the former year together with

the dollar values and rates of increase for the
same years. It will be observed that in all cases
(except, of course, gold where the value was un-
changed at $35 per fine ounce) the 1948 increase
over 1947 in dollar value has been greater than
the increase in volume of output. This, ob-
viously, has been caused by an increase in the

course, are not exported in any appreciable
quantity but any increase in the volume of
production brings about a lessened need for
imports from the United States and the con-
sequent expenditure of American currency.

Although the dollar value of all minerals
listed above was greater in 1948 than in any
other year (except in the case of gold where
the 1941 output was valued at $205,789,392)
the output by volume was not, in most cases,
the greatest ever recorded. Below are listed the
maximum volume output and the year it was
reached for those items listed above which did
not have record outputs in 1948: gold 5.3
million oz. (1941), copper 655.6 million lbs.
(1940), nickel 288.0 million lbs. (1943), zinc
610.8 million lbs. (1943), lead 512.1 million lbs.
(1942), and coal 18.9 million tons (1942).
The value of all metals produced (including
those not shown in the above table) increased
22.4 per cent and that of mineral fuels 43.7
per cent. These increases were of considerable
assistance in Canada's effort to rectify her U.S.
dollar exchange position. Much of Canada's
metal production, particularly of gold, copper,
nickel, lead, and zinc, is exported, with a very
considerable portion of the exports going to
the United States to be paid for in American
dollars or going to those countries which under
special arrangements pay for some essential
year of 1942 reflects the recent development of
the oilfields in Northern Alberta. Many com-
petent observers believe that these fields will in
the near future, perhaps in the current year,
place a major portion of Western Canada in a
position where it will be free of the necessity
of importing gasoline from the United States.
To a lesser extent the increased coal production
will augment Canada's fuel supply, although
because of haulage costs it is in some parts of
the country economical to import American
coal even though Canadian coal is available.
Ontario, with production valued at $286.7
million, maintained her primacy among the
mineral producing provinces, having 35.6 per
cent of the total production. This was a lower
proportion of the total than in either 1946 or
1947, when it was 38.1 per cent and 38.7 per cent
respectively. British Columbia with 18.3 per
cent of the total and Quebec with 18.2 per cent
ranked second and third among the provinces
while Alberta was fourth with 11.5 per cent.
It is noteworthy that Alberta's production of
minerals was almost entirely limited to the
three fuels coal, natural gas and petroleum.

(1) Monthly figures for Saskatchewan include all the power produced by the Churchill River power plant. Annual
data up to 1946 reflect the fact that most of this power is consumed at Flin Flon just across the provincial

(1) Excluding producers' interchange.
(2> Prior to 1946, exports include pigs, ingots, blooms, billets and rolling mill products.
'Prior to 1946, imports include castings and forgings and rolling mill products. Since 1946, they include, in
addition to all other shapes, wire and wire rope. A substantial part of the imports appears after refinishing
in total shipments. Production of primary iron and steel shapes from Canadian steel is equivalent to about
72 percent of the total production of ingots.

Note: Coverage was increased in 1947, the provincial distribution for 204 municipalities being shown above.
The collection was extended to 507 municipalities in 1948, minor revision being required in the table,
due to the non-receipt of returns from a few small places. No account is taken of the building activity
outside of registration areas. Actual operations normally follow the granting of permits but a number of
projects are not undertaken or abandoned. The amount depends upon the statement of the applicant
and considerable change may develop before the completion of the operation.

Includes imports to the end of 1947-48 while in 1948-49 wheat imports are taken in as monthly data become
available; inward shipments of oats and barley will be added at the end of the crop year.
Figures of customs exports for 1945-46 and 1946-47 are adjusted to reflect actual physical movements from
Canada. Previous to 1945-46 adjusted figures are not available. The statistics for 1947-48 are customs
exports and will be adjusted when reguired information is available.
Prior to 1936-37 Canadian customs figures are used. From 1936-37 to date, exports consist of overseas clearances
plus U.S. imports for consumption.
Includes customs exports of Canadian oatmeal and rolled oats.

Annual results are from the Canadian Balance of International Payments and monthly totals as given in Trade
of Canada. In the balance of payment figures trade statistics have been adjusted to bring them closer
to the international exchange of goods with each country, by using payments data or other substitutes
in the case of certain special groups of transactions where physical movements of goods do not reflect inter-
national financial transactions, — e.g. — special shipments of munitions during the war, and the ware-
housing of Canadian wheat outside of Canada. Mutual aid exports are represented by financial transac-
tions which in some years are subject to revision. Non-commercial items have been deducted throughout.

(1) The annual statistics embrace all steam railways, while monthly data refer to railways with annual operating
revenues of $500,000 or over.
<2) Operating income equals operating revenues less operating expenses adjusted for tax accruals and rent of
equipment and joint facilities.
(3) For the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific, retroactive wage increases, totalling $29,085,087, paid in
September, were not included in that month's operating expenses. Payrolls as now reported monthly are
according to the new wage scales.

Employment, Payrolls and Earnings
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics collects,
compiles and publishes monthly statistics on
employment, salaries and wages, average weekly
and hourly earnings, and average hours worked,
and the proportion of men and women, in the
leading non -agricultural industries of Canada.
The figures are from concerns employing fifteen
or more persons; the industries covered are
manufacturing, logging, mining, communi-
cations, transportation, construction and
maintenance, trade, finance, and services.
The coverage extends to all branches of these
industries except in the case of services, which
includes chiefly hotels, restaurants, laundries
and dry cleaning plants. The statistics appear
in summary form in tables 9 to 14 (pages 21 to
,39) of the Canadian Statistical Review, and are
published in more detail in three monthly and
one annual reports, listed at the end of this
article.
All of these series are of considerable value as
guides both in assessing general economic
trends and in helping management, labour and
other economic groups to solve specific prob-
lems. Some of their uses will be discussed later
in this article following a brief description of
the statistics themselves.
Employment and Payrolls
Employment statistics have been collected
since 1920. Until 1941 the employer was asked
to state the number of persons at work on the
last work day of each month, but when
statistics of payrolls were introduced in the
spring of 1941, it became necessary to ask for
nformation showing the number of employees
>n the payrolls in the last pay period of the
nonth, in order to relate the employment
igures to the salaries and wages. Changing the
recording date for the employment statistics
from the last working day to the last pay
period of the month caused some change in
coverage of persons employed in individual
establishments, since the number drawing pay
in a given pay period will usually exceed the
number working on a given day. Steps were
taken, however, to make adjustments for these
differences and to put the employment figures
subsequent to the spring of 1941 on a basis as
comparable as possible with the previous
figures.
A comparison of the industrial coverage of
the employees represented in the index number
with total figures for wage-earners and salaried
employees available from the Decennial Census
and the Annual Census of Industry indicates
that the monthly survey's coverage of total
employment ranges from about 51 p.c. in
hotels and restaurants and laundries and dry
cleaning plants, and 55 p.c. in retail trade, to
85 p.c. in mining and 88 p.c. in manufacturing.
The Bureau makes every effort to see that it
obtains reports from all firms of fifteen em-
ployees and over in the industries covered.
Numerous sources of information regarding
industrial developments are carefully watched
to make sure that new firms are incorporated
into the calculations as soon as operations
begin.
The statistics of employment cover all
salaried employees and wage-earners of the
co-operating firms, including full time and
part time workers. Separate figures of employ-
ment are compiled monthly for men and
women. The tabulated payrolls include gross
salaries and wages before deductions are made
by the management for taxes, unemployment
insurance contributions, etc. They also include
cost-of-living allowances, commissions, incen-
tive or production bonuses, and other bonuses
currently paid.
Average Hours Worked and Average
Hourly Earnings
From the end of 1944, statistics of man-
hours and average earnings of wage-earners
have been obtained in connection with the
monthly surveys of employment and payrolls.
These data cover a rather smaller number of
companies and workers than those of employ-
ment and payrolls and average weekly salaries
and wages, since they relate mainly to wage-
earners employed at hourly rates, i.e., largely
to production workers. In many cases, statis-
tics of man-hours are not available for certain
classes of wage-earners, whose earnings are not
directly dependent upon the number of hours
worked examples of such exclusions are
route drivers, piece-workers in some but not all
establishments, truck men, etc. Again, some
employers do not keep a record of man-hours
for any classes of employees. In manufacturing,
the statistics of man-hours relate to approx-
imately 81 per cent of all wage-earners
reported to the Annual Census of Manu-
facturers.
The statistics of hours worked include over-
time hours worked as well as the hours of part-
time and casual workers; they also include
hours credited to persons absent on leave with
pay. The wages reported represent gross
earnings before deductions for taxes, unem-
ployment insurance, etc., including incentive
and production bonuses and overtime pay-
ments. They do not include the value of board
and lodging which in some cases is part of the
remuneration of workers.
Usefulness of These Series
The index of employment is a valuable
monthly indicator of employment trends in a
large and most significant sector of the econ-
omy. It should not, of course, be confused
with the employment figures estimated on a
quarterly basis by the Labour Force Survey,
for it covers only the industries already men-
tioned and therefore omits certain economic
groups such as agriculture, government ser-
vices, education and the self-employed. The
index of payrolls is another important economic
barometer, reflecting, in addition to changes
in the volume and the industrial and sex
distribution of employment, changes in rates
of pay, hours of work and the amount of over-
time at premium rates.
In using the index numbers of employment
and payrolls to show trends in particular
industries, it should be borne in mind that the
figures relate to establishments employing
15 persons or more; in most cases they repre-
sent the greater part of the industry, but in
others an important segment may be omitted.
This, of course, is of no significance when the
trend of employment and payrolls is the same
in small businesses as in the larger enterprises.
Although it is conceivable* that economic
circumstances might arise where the move-
ments in the smaller firms would differ
markedly from those in the medium and
larger establishments, certain studies made
during the war years (a period of severe test)
indicate that in fact the trends of employment
in the two groups are generally similar.
Since figures of average weekly salaries and
wages reflect fluctuations in the purchasing
power of large proportions of the wage-earning
population, they are useful for a variety of
practical purposes. Sales and advertising
organizations frequently make use of them
when studying markets for particular products;
the figures showing the numbers and propor-
tions of male and female employees reported
in various industries or localities, are also
commonly used for that purpose. They are
used by credit organizations as a factor in
assessing the margin of safety in instalment
buying in particular areas. Businessmen
planning to open new establishments will
examine the figures of sex distribution for
various industries and areas to get an idea of
the availability of workers suitable for their
needs, and the relative costs. The scale of
earnings in particular centres as reflected in the
current statistics will be considered, along as
with other factors, by retailers in deciding the
size of outlets which they intend to establish.
Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Like the statistics of average salaries and
wages, the figures of average hourly earnings
and weekly wages are used for a variety of
n
purposes. They immediately reflect changes in
labour costs, which are, of course, a significant
economic factor, as well as of particular
concern to individual industries. In the latter
connection, a number of establishments, lar-
gely in the heavy manufacturing industries,
make a practice of placing an "escalator"
clause in their long-term contracts, by which
the payment for the product will vary according
to the costs of labour and materials. The
Bureau of Statistics' figures of average hourly
earnings in the industry in question are used,
together with the wholesale price index num-
bers, to measure these changes.
Even more frequently than the statistics of
average weekly earnings, the figures of average
hourly earnings are used by businessmen
gathering background information on which
to decide the location of new establishments.
They form the basis of numerous international
comparisons, and are widely used in cost-
accounting. They are very commonly used in
negotiating wage agreements, as indicating
variations from the average in the establish-
ments involved, and also differences in earnings
in the same industry in different parts of the
country. In this connection, it is important to
distinguish between the statistics of average
earnings and those of wage rates and wage rate
index numbers, as published annually by the
Department of Labour.
In comparing average earnings in different
industries, or even in the same industry over a
lengthy period of time, consideration should
be given to several important factors, such as
sex, age and occupational differentials. For
example, if one industry has a large proportion
of female, or of unskilled labour, and another
has a large proportion of male, or of skilled
labour, the average earnings in the first indus-
try will be substantially lower than those in the
second, even if the rates of pay for workers of
the same skill and the same sex and age group
were identical in both industries. Again, in
periods of expanding employment, the dilution
of labour will frequently have a marked effect
upon the figures of average earnings, as the
proportions of unskilled or semi-skilled workers
increase, although the wage rates remain
constant. Furthermore, hourly earnings in-
clude any overtime pay, the amount of which
will vary from time to time and industry to
industry.
Reports Issued
The first report to appear is a short release
entitled Advance Statement on Employment
and Weekly Earnings, which gives the employ-
ment index for the latest month by provinces
and for Canada as a whole and the latest index
of payrolls and figures of weekly earnings. This
is followed by a monthly report The Employ-
ment Situation at the Beginning of (December,
1948) Together with Payrolls for the Last Week
in [November, 1918). This report gives the
indexes of employment and payrolls and
average weekly salaries and wages broken
down by industry in quite considerable detail
and also classified by major industries for the
provinces and for the leading industries in 22 of
the larger cities. In addition, this report
includes tables on the sex distribution in
various areas and industries.
A few days later, another report Statistics
of Average Hours W orked and Average Hourly
Earnings as Reported at the Beginning of
(December, 1948) is published. This contains
tables showing in considerable detail the
average hours worked, average hourly earnings,
and average weekly wages by industries, and
also textual discussion of the statistics. The
information is published by provinces and by
certain leading cities.
The Annual Review of Employment and
Payrolls in Canada contains a considerable
volume of tables, charts, and text recapitulating
and analysing the material published in the
monthly reports, and giving historical back-
ground. In addition, a Chart Book of Employ-
ment and Payrolls in Canadian Industries is
published periodically. A special annual
report is now being prepared giving detailed
information on Hours of Work and Hourly
and Weekly Earnings of Male and Female
Wage-Earners and Salaried Employees Reported
by Leading Manufacturers, the data resulting
from an analysis of the time and payroll
records for one week in the autumn of each
year.

Current Economic Conditions
Current indicators of economic conditions do
not show any marked changes in either direc-
tion. The seasonally adjusted index of indus-
trial production has remained remarkably
stable, standing at 185.4 for October, 185.2
for November, and 185.3 for December. In-
dustrial employment, as reported by over 19,000
leading industrial establishments, reached an
all time high on December 1 with the index
(1926 = 100) standing at 204.1. This figure,
however, was very slightly above the November
level of 203.6 and only about two per cent
above the December, 1947, figure of 199.6.
The cost-of-living index advanced slightly
between December 1, 1948 and January 3, 1949,
from 158.9 to 159.6. The January 2, 1948,
figure was 148.3. The general index of whole-
sale prices for January, 1949, stood at 159.3
compared to the 159.5 and 159.7 recorded for
December and November of 1948.
The index of farm prices of agricultural
products for December was estimated at 251.6
as compared with 250.1 for November (base
1935-39 = 100;. This rise in the index reverses
the autumn's trend under which it had fallen
for three consecutive months following the
.establishment of a new high mark of 256.0 in
August last. The 1948 monthly average of this
index was 244.2, over 40 points above the 1947
monthly average.
Railway revenue freight loadings during the
calendar year just ended totalled 111 million
tons, a new high record and 1.9 per cent above
the loadings for the previous year. During the
month of January, 1949, this upward trend was
reversed and loadings stood at 8.1 million tons
as compared with 8.3 million tons during the
same month of the previous year.
In connection with the comment made in
this article last month on the tourist trade it
is interesting to note that the number of
foreign vehicles entering Canada on permit to
remain in the country more than 48 hours
totalled 32,590 during January, 1949. This
figure is 15.4 per cent above the January, 1948,
total of 28,243 which was in turn 16.2 per cent
above the 24,306 admitted in January, 1947.
More new dwelling units were completed in
1948 than in any other year in Canadian
listory. This was forecast in the November
issue of the Canadian Statistical Review and
more complete returns than were then available
confirm the estimate. 81,243 dwelling units are
reported as being completed during the year.
Of these 76,097 are in new structures and
5,146 in converted ones. From the type of
dwelling units being constructed it is estimated
that 75 per cent of them will be owner-occupied.
40 per cent of the rental units completed were
built under the management of Central
Housing and Mortgage Corporation. The
construction industry started the calendar
year with 56,456 units under construction as
compared with 42,215 underway at the start of
the year 1948.
Gross National Product
and Expenditure
Examination of the recently published pre-
liminary estimate of the National Accounts —
Income and Expenditure — for 1948 shows that
the gross national product was valued at $15.4
billion as compared with $13.4 billion in 1947
and $11.9 billion in 1946. Since the estimate is
expressed in dollar values it is clear that any
rise in prices will be reflected in an increase in
gross national product. Thus since prices, as
exemplified by the cost-of-living index, in-
creased 1947 to 1948 by about 14 per cent and
1946 to 1947 by 10 per cent and the value of the
gross national product advanced during the
same periods by about 15 per cent and 13 per
cent it is clear that, while there has been some
real gain in production, the increases in the
value of the GNP are largely the result of
higher prices.
The net national income amounted to $12.8
billion in 1948, $11.0 billion in 1947 and $9.8
billion in 1946. The components of the national
income tend to fluctuate in importance with
the economic health of the country. Thus the
percentage of the national income earned by
investment advances in periods of high income
and declines in years of low income. Obversely,
wages and salaries will account for a greater
proportion of the national income when other
factors such as investment income and farm
returns are low. These facts are illustrated by
a review of the fluctuations in the ratio that
wages and salaries (including military pay and
allowances) has borne to the whole national
income. Averaging 56 per cent in 1926-28 it
rose to 75 per cent in 1933 and since that date
has slowly declined until in 1948 it was 56.4
per cent. Investment income, on the other
hand, stood at 17 per cent in 1929, dropped
sharply to less than 8 per cent in 1932 and has
since moved slowly upward to 21.0 per cent for
1947 and 20.2 per cent for 1948.
The steady increase in the industrialization
of the country would tend, other things being
equal, to reduce the portion of the national
income earned by farm operators from farm
production. However, during the last few years
a combination of rising volume of production
and price increases has offset this trend and
has resulted in both relative and absolute in-
creases. The net income of farm operators
from farm production, including wheat par-
ticipation payments, was $1.7 billion or 13.6
per cent of the national income in 1948, $1.2
billion or 11.3 per cent in 1947 and $1.1 billion
or 11.6 per cent in 1946. The rate of increase in
farm income 1948 over 1947 was 41 per cent.
Personal expenditure on goods and services
is estimated at $10 billion or 65.2 per cent of the
gross national expenditure. While these
expenditures increased from $8.9 billion in
1947 and $7.9 billion in 1946 it is worthy of note
that the proportion such expenditures bear to
the total has declined from 66.5 per cent in
1947 and 66.9 per cent in 1946. Consumer
spending in 1948 was $1.1 billion or 12 per cent
above that of 1947 but since prices as measured
by the cost-of-living index increased during the
same period by approximately 14 per cent a
decline in real consumption is indicated.
Government expenditures, after declining
sharply in 1947 as compared to 1946, rose in
dollar value in 1948. The figures for the three
years were $1.8 billion in 1946, $1.5 billion in
1947 and $1.7 billion in 1948. Here again the
ratio of increase, about 13 per cent, approx-
imately parallels the increasing prices. The
ratio of government spendings to the gross
national expenditure remained in 1948 un-
changed from the approximately 11 per cent
figure established in 1947.
Gross home investment in plant, equipment
and housing totalled $2.5 billion in 1948 as
compared with $2.0 billion in 1947 and $1.3
billion in 1946. While this component gained
relative to the total expenditure the rate of
increase, 1948, over 1947, was less than half of
what it was in 1947 over 1946. Net additions to
inventories at $0.6 billion in 1948 were consider-
ably below those of $0.8 billion for the year
earlier.
Exports of goods and services rose to $4.0
billion from $3.6 billion for the previous year
while imports remained practically unchanged.
There was thus for 1948 a substantial net
foreign investment amounting to approx-
imately $0.4 billion.
American Developments
The year just ended was by far the busiest in
U.S. economic history. Employment, income,
and industrial production all reached new high
levels. There are, however, signs that in many
instances the rate of advance started to decline
in the last few months and that in others a
definite shrinking is observable.
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan recently
reported that farm income for the year 1948
was estimated at $17.8 billion, two per cent
below the 1947 figure. This is the first reduction
in farm income reported in ten years. Mr.
Brannan, in testimony before a joint congres-
sional committee, expressed the opinion that
the peak of farm prosperity is probably past.
A reduction, in January of this year, of the
"composite price" for steel scrap from $43.00
to $37.50 per ton was, in light of the world's
hunger for steel, of peculiar significance. Under
normal circumstances the price of steel usually
fluctuates at the ratio of one to four with the
price of scrap and thus an early reduction in
the price of new deliveries of approximately
$1.50 per ton might be expected. Competent
observers in the industry, however, do not
expect that any such reduction can take place
owing in part to increases in other steel-making
costs and to the operators fear of higher cor-
porate taxes and further wage increase demands
when present labour contracts expire in April
next.
Employed persons as of the first week in
January numbered 57.5 million, down by ap-
proximately two millions from the figure of
59.5 million for the first week of December and
four millions below the mid-summer all time
high employment record. Although layoffs,
December to January, were higher than in any
month since the end of the war they were, at
least in part, seasonal and the January, 1949,
total of employed persons was approximately

300,000 above that of January, 1948. The total
number of persons considered unemployed
rose, December to January, by 0.7 million to
reach 2.7 million, the highest figure attained
in recent years and 0.6 million above the
January, 1948, mark. Increases in both em-
ployment and unemployment indicate, of
course, an enlarged labour force.
United States prices during the last three
months of 1948 and January, 1949, followed a
downward trend with the consumers price
index (in general, similar to the Canadian cost-
of-living index) showing three consecutive
monthly declines and standing for December
at 171.4. This index, like its Canadian counter-
part, is based upon 1935-39 = 100. The U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics weekly wholesale
price index has also been moving lower and for
the week ending February 8th stood at 156.9,
back to the September, 1947, level. Since last
October week to week fluctuations of this
index have generally been downward.
Retail trade was also adversely affected, with
department store sales for the week ending
February 5th standing at four per cent below
those of a year earlier. The Federal Reserve
Board's seasonally adjusted index of sales stood
at 290 for January as compared with 309 for
December and a twelve-month 1948 average of
302. Two of the largest mail order houses
reported business shrinkages of 10 and 11 per
cent in January, 1949, compared with the same
month of the previous year.
As offsetting these unfavourable factors it
should be noted that there are many indi-
cations that U.S. industrial activity will con-
tinue for some time to come on a very high
level. Disposable income for the month of
November was equivalent to a seasonally ad-
justed annual rate of $197 billion, a new high
record. The figure for November, 1947, was $179
billion. The rate of increase, 1947 to 1948, was,
therefore, 10 per cent and during the same
period the consumers price index increased
only 4.4 per cent.
U.S. governmental expenditures on re-arma-
ment and on the products needed for the
European Recovery Plan are also expected to
sustain markets and to provide industrial
activity in sufficient quantity to guard against
any serious unemployment situation.
1949 World Wheat Outlook
Unless abnormal weather conditions are
encountered during the northern growing and
harvesting season it is predicted on data pres-
ently available that the world will reap an
ample harvest of wheat during 1949. In the
northern hemisphere, where at this time of
year only very tentative estimates can be
made, there are indications that acreage
sown to wheat will exceed previous marks.
The United States Department of Agriculture
estimates that in that country 61.4 million
acres were seeded with winter wheat. This is
five per cent above last year's record figure and
25 per cent greater than the last ten years'
average. On the basis of December 1, 1948,
conditions, the coming U.S t crop of winter
wheat is forecast at 965 million bushels.
Should this be realized plus an average crop of
spring wheat the United States would for the
third year in succession produce a crop of over
1.2 billion bushels of wheat — a yield consider-
ably over its normal domestic and export
requirements.
In Canada, too, there are substantial reasons
for believing that the acreage seeded to wheat
will exceed that of last year. Declines in the
price of flaxseed and rye to-gether with the
fact that the minimum initial payment to
wheat growers has now been set at $1.75 a
bushel are expected to cause significant acreage
diversions from these crops to wheat. Further,
if not too prolonged, a continuation of the
present dry spell into the coming spring might
cause the sowing of wheat at the expense of
other grains which can not so well withstand
the effects of moisture shortage.
Trade estimates indicate that the crop now
about to be harvested in Argentina will amount
to between 150 and 180 million bushels, down
from 250 million bushels in the previous year.
Australia expects to reap 200 million bushels,
20 million below last year, but still above
the 1935-39 average of 170 million bushels.
These adverse developments are, however, in
some measure offset by forecasts from Euro-
pean importing countries, from several of which
have come reports indicating fall wheat sowings
equalling or surpassing those of the previous
year and fall weather conditions extremely
favourable to seeding and germination.

(1) Monthly figures for Saskatchewan include all the power produced by the Churchill River power plant. Annual
data up to 1946 reflect the fact that most of this power is consumed at Flin Flon just across the provincial
border in Manitoba. The information required to compensate for this flow of power is not available
on a monthly basis.

'''Excluding producers' interchange.
Prior to 1946, exports include pigs, ingots, blooms, billets and rolling mill products.
Prior to 1946, imports include castings and iorgings and rolling mill products. Since 1946, they include, in
addition to all other shapes, wire and wire rope. A substantial part of the imports appears after rehnishing
in total shipments. Production of primary iron and steel shapes from Canadian steel is equivalent to about
72 percent of the total production of ingots.

"The coverage was extended to 507 municipalities in 1948, minor revision still being required in the table,
due to the non-receipt of returns from a few small places. No account is taken of the building activity
outside of registration areas. Actual operations normally follow the granting of permits but a number of
projects are not undertaken or abandoned. The amount depends upon the statement of the applicant
and considerable change may develop before the completion of the operation.

Includes imports to the end of 1947-48 while in 1948-49 wheat imports are taken in as monthly data become
available; inward shipments of oats and barley will be added at the end of the crop year.
Figures of customs exports for 1945-46 and 1946-47 are adjusted to reflect actual physical movements from
Canada. Previous to 1945-46 adjusted figures are not available. The statistics for 1947-48 are customs
exports and will be adjusted when required information is available.
Prior to 1936-37 Canadian customs figures are used. From 1936-37 to date, exports consist of overseas clearances
plus U.S. imports for consumption.
Includes customs exports of Canadian oatmeal and rolled oats.

'Annual results are from the Canadian Balance of International Payments and monthly totals as given in Trade
of Canada. In the balance of payment figures trade statistics have been adjusted to bring them closer
to the international exchange of goods with each country, by using payments data or other substitutes
in the case of certain special groups of transactions where physical movements of goods do not reflect inter-
national financial transactions, — e.g. — special shipments of munitions during the war, and the ware-
housing of Canadian wheat outside of Canada. Mutual aid exports are represented by financial transac-
tions which in some years are subject to revision. Non-commercial items have been deducted throughout.
'■"'Official holdings of Gold and U.S. dollars are given as of end of month in Statistical Summary of the Bank of
Canada. *See footnote of page 106.

Railway Statistics
Railway statistics are always valuable barom-
eters of economic conditions in a country.
In Canada, however, they are of special signi-
ficance, because the geographic structure of
the country, the comparative paucity of
population and the rugged terrain make us
more dependent than almost any other country
upon railroads for transportation.
Canadian railroad statistics are compre-
hensive, and fall into two main groups: those
dealing with traffic — "car loadings" and
"tonnage carried" etc. and those covering
financial accounts. Traffic statistics throw
light on economic activity both in the country
as a whole, in specific industries and within
regions. Car loadings have a particular impor-
tance, because they are published weekly (as
well as monthly) and are one of the few
available weekly business indicators. These
traffic figures also give a variety of information
valuable to individual business men when
facing specific problems. For example, produce
merchants secure an idea of the movement to
market of vegetable, fruit and dairy products;
grain dealers, shipping interests, etc., have an
indication of grain movement; while cattle
loadings are most useful to packing houses and
exporters.
The financial statistics of the railroads are
naturally of interest to brokerage houses, to
investors in the privately-owned systems, and to
analysts of government finance. Their impor-
Eance, however, spreads a good deal wider than
his, because the financial position of the roads
s one of the considerations in determining the
level of freight rates, and there is no section of
the economy which is not directly or indirectly
effected by this problem.
Summary Tables in Canadian
Statistical Review
Statistics covering car loadings, tonnage
v.uiled, financial operating returns, passengers
rtrried, number of workers employed and wages
>aM, etc. etc., are supplied to the Dominion
tureau of Statistics by the individual rail-
oads. These including American systems
unning into this country, amount to thirty-
wo, but eighteen of them own or control less
han one hundred miles of track each.
V summary of the principal figures appear in
ables 52 and 53 of the Canadian Statistical
tiiieu- (pp. 108 to 111). The first of these
shows monthly car loadings of revenue freight
loaded on Canadian railways by type of com-
modity broken down into nineteen categories.
While it is the usual practice in the Review's
tabular matter to supply comparable data
for the ten years immediately past and for
certain key years going back to 1926, this has
not been done in this table since increases in
the capacity of cars and improved techniques
of loading have been so great that car loadings
are not comparable over a long term of years.
Car loadings are, however, given for the last
thirty-eight consecutive months thus allowing
for short term comparisons and observation of
the rather striking seasonal variations in
activity. The prime cause of such variations is,
of course, the movement to the head of the
Lakes and to both seaboards of vast quantities
of grain in the fall of each year after the prairie
harvest.
Table 53 presents in summary form the
principal statistics available monthly on the
financial results of the operations of the rail-
ways (not including hotel, steamships, etc.)
together with a statement of the revenue
freight and number of passengers carried. The
yearly data are for all railways operating in
Canada while the monthly data are only for
those with annual operating revenue of $500,000
or over. These number sixteen, but during
1947 their operating revenues were 98.9 per cent
of the total reported by all thirty- two systems.
The table shows revenues from both freight
and passenger operations, operating expenses
and net operating income for all systems and
for the Canadian National and Canadian
Pacific individually. Net operating income as
shown in this table is not the difference
between revenue and expenses since adjust-
ment is made for tax accruals and for the
rentals to be paid for the use of certain equip-
ment and joint facilities. The amount of this
adjustment is shown in the monthly report on
operating revenues and expenses discussed
below.
W'eekly and Monthly Publications
The weekly report Car Loadings shows the
number of cars loaded with revenue freight
from Sunday to Saturday for all of Canada and
for the eastern and western divisions (the
break comes immediately west of Fort William).
It is published on the Friday following the
close of the week. Car Loadings are broken
down by material loaded and comparable
data are given for the two previous weeks and
for the closest week of the previous year.
Cumulative totals are also given for the
current and the two previous years. An index
number, based on the 1935-39 averages, is
quoted for each of the last six weeks of the
current year and for similar periods in the
previous year. The total number of car loads
received from foreign connections (i.e. U.S.
Lines or shipping originating in a foreign port)
is. also shown.
Railway Revenue Freight Loadings, appearing
three weeks after the close of the month, is a
monthly preliminary estimate of the number of
cars and tons of freight loaded. Loadings for
each available month of the current year and
for each month of the seven previous years are
shown both as absolute numbers and as
expressed by an index number based on the
1935-1939 period.
The last in the series of monthly publications
dealing with revenue freight is the Monthly
Traffic Report of Railways of Canada, a very
detailed discussion of freight carried expressed
in terms of tonnage only. It sets forth the
volume of freight loaded in Canada during the
month, the tonnage received from foreign
connections destined both for delivery in
Canada and in transit to foreign points. It
gives both the month's figures and the cumu-
lative totals to date together with the increase
or decrease in tonnage from similar periods of
the earlier year. Terminations, that is freight
unloaded at stations in Canada and that
delivered to foreign connections, complete the
picture. The breakdown into commodities is
considerably finer than that used in the weekly
Car Loadings and is under five main divisions
and seventy-eight sub-divisions.
The second portion of this publication shows
tonnage loaded and unloaded in each of the
provinces of Canada under a commodity break-
down identical with that outlined above.
These statistics can in no way be taken as
covering all interprovincial trade, since they
exclude transfers of commodities by truck or
water. Neither do then indicate the provin-
cial origin of tonnage unloaded. Nevertheless
they throw a useful light on whether a province
is a net importer or exporter of certain com-
modities.
The last of the monthly publications, Oper-
ating Revenues, Expenses & Statistics- Railways
in Canada with Annual Operating Revenues
of $500,000 or Over, is published about sixty
days after the close of the month. This
presents in detailed form the material sum-
marized in table 53 of the Review. It gives both
financial and general operating statistics for
all railways combined (subject to the $500,000
revenue reservation) and for the two largest
Canadian systems individually.
Annual Publications
Several annual reports are also published.
The Summary of Monthly Railway Traffic
Reports is, as its title indicates, primarily a
condensation of the monthly report already
discussed but it contains in addition two
rather interesting tables not elsewhere publish-
ed. The first of these discusses, under the
usual commodity breakdown, -the freight ori-
ginating and terminating in the area covered
by the three maritime provinces of Prince
Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick. The second table deals similarly with
origins and terminations in the western prov-
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,
and British Columbia, considered as a single
entity. From these data net import from, and
exports to the rest of Canada may be deter-
mined.
Statistics of Steam Railways in Canada
is a complete presentation of all available
statistical material on railway operations. It is
issued about eight or nine months after the
close of the year and contains in expanded
form all the material to be found in the reports
discussed above together with detailed reports
on the financial structure of operating com-
panies, numbers of employees and their
earnings, analyses of fuel costs, maintenance
costs, expansion costs, taxes paid, reports or
accidents and deaths of or injuries to botl
passengers and employees, etc. The curren
volume for the year ending December 31, 1947
consists of three pages of explanatory text an<
nineteen tables presented on 134 pages.
In addition, the Bureau of Statistics issue
Canadian National Railways (1923-1947 ) an
Canadian Pacific Railway (1923-1947). Thes
present a brief historical survey of the revenue
and expenses of the two systems and a con
densation of operational statistics over th
twenty-five year period since the incorporatio
of the C.N.R. They are revised each year f
include the latest annual data and the C.P.I
statistics have been placed on a comparab
basis with those of the C.N.R. by the inclusic

Current Economic Conditions
The index of industrial production reached
184.1 in September, 1948, and held for the next
three months between this figure and 185.7
reached in December. In January, 1949, it
dropped 3.6% to 178.9. The sub-index for all
manufactures was off 4.3% at 188.5 from 197.2
for December with that of non-durables off
4.1% from 180.2 to 172.7 and that for durables
off 4.2% from 226.3 to 215.6. Manufacture of
motor vehicles was primarily responsible for
this decline, falling from 201.0 in December to
108.5 in January. This decline was caused, in
part at least, by temporary shut downs for
retooling purposes during January.
Railway car loadings of revenue freight totalled
289 thousand for February last, 300 thousand
for January and 316 thousand for December.
The comparable figures for the preceding year
were 286 thousand in February, 317 thousand
for January and 321 thousand for December
(1947) . Car loadings for the week ending March
19 totalled 72,991 compared with 74,194 for the
previous week and 76,239 for the corresponding
week last year.
The cost-of-living index stood on February 1
at 159.5 very slightly down from 159.6 in
January. From September, 1948 to February,
1949, fluctuations in this index have held within
the narrow range of 158.9-159.6. The general
wholesale price index was off very slightly from
December to January, as were the wholesale
price indices of consumers' goods, producers'
goods, industrial materials, and those for both
partly and fully manufactured goods. The
wholesale price index for general building mate-
rials ran against the trend increasing slightly.
The wholesale price index number of Canadian
farm products stood at 226.2 for January
compared with 227.6 for December.
February merchandise exports were valued
at $205 million, down about 1.5% from those of
the same month in 1948. Sales of domestic
products to the United States amounted to
$106 million during the month compared with
$94.8 million in February of last year, an increase
of 12.6%. This was more than offset by declines
in the sales to the United Kingdom which were
off 14.7% from $51.7 million in February, 1948,
to $44.1 million in February, 1949, and in sales
to other European countries which dropped
33.2% from $25.9 million to $17.3 million.
Cash Farm Income Soars
A preliminary estimate of farmers' cash
receipts from the sale of farm products in
1948 recently published by the Bureau indicates
that this amounted to $2,450 million in 1948,
$488 million or approximately 25% above the
previous high record of $1,962 million estab-
lish in 1947. When payments under the Prairie
Farm Assistance Act are included the com-
parable amounts are $2,470 million in 1948 and
$1,974 in 1947. This cash income from the salt
of farm products amounted in 1948 to almos 1
four times the 1935-1939 average of $623..'
million.
High levels of domestic purchasing powe
plus strong world demand combined to lif
Canadian agricultural prices approximate!
20% above the 1947 levels and this fact togethe
with increased supplementary payments an
larger distributions by the Canadian Whea
Board of participation payments, rather tha
increased production, was responsible for tl
farmers' higher receipts.
A 30% increase in the number of cattle ar
calves marketed during the year, brougl
about largely by removal of restrictions (
exports to the United States, and considerab
higher prices made the sale of this commodi
the greatest single source of income for tl'
farmers in 1948. Sales of cattle and calves we'
iv
valued at $433.7 million up 84.4% from $235.3
million in 1947.
Sales of wheat grown in 1948 amounted to
$401.7 million while participations and adjust-
ments from previous crops brought growers an
additional $158.4 million, the comparative
figures for 1947 being $346.8 million and $73.8
million. Sales of dairy products at 389.6
million and hogs at $300.8 million were next in
order of importance during the last year.
Ontario, with an increase in farm income of
$127.1 million from $541.3 million in 1947 to
$668.4 million in 1948, showed the greatest
absolute increase. Manitoba had the greatest
percentage gain with a 33.9% increase from
$181.4 million to $243.4 million.
Report on Retail Sales
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has, over
the past two years, completely revised its retail
trade statistics on which the Monthly Report
on Retail Sales was based. As a result of the
revision this report has been discontinued and
effective from January 1, 1949 has been replaced
by'iRetail Trade, to be issued monthly. Whereas
previously the dollar value of sales in various
types of stores was reported in terms of index
numbers, based on 1935-1939 = 100, the data
will now be recorded in terms of dollar value
directly. Sales for 20 different types of stores
and for an "all other stores" group will be
given.
Data for three groups of stores — food,
country general and department — has been
compiled on an annual basis from 1941 to 1946
inclusive, and on a monthly basis for 1947 and
1948. For all the other groups of stores the
innual material has so far been compiled only
for 1941, but when it is assembled for the other
ears it will be incorporated in a supplement
to Retail Trade.
This revision of the report on retail sales has,
>f course, necessitated revision of table 45 of the
unadian Statistical Review, which starting
vith the present issue, will present a summary
>f the material to be found in the new report.
his summary will, at present, show total sales
n dollar value and the value of sales in the 16
nost important types of stores, for the year
'941, 1947 and 1948 and for the last 25 months.
When all the 1942-1946 data is available it will
be included in table 45. While the breakdown
of sales by economic areas in the new report
lists each of the prairie provinces individually,
limitations of space require that the Review
retain the former grouping of these provinces
in a single unit.
Preliminary estimates based on the new
series indicate that Canada's retail trade for
1948 totalled $7,276 million, up 10.9% above the
total of $6,563 million for 1947 and 111.7% above
the 1941 figure of $3,437 million. The Bureau's
1948 index of retail prices was up 19.2% from
the 1947 figure and 54.4% above that for 1941.
Improvements in the Balance
of Payments
The two outstanding developments in
Canada's balance of international payments
during 1948 were the substantial increase in the
overall surplus with all countries and the even
more marked decrease in the deficit with the
United States. The latter, together with other
factors, permitted Canada nearly to double her
U.S. dollar reserves during the year. The
elements contributing to these changes were
discussed in the report recently published by
the Bureau, The Canadian Balance of Inter-
national Payments, Preliminary Estimate,
1948, and in the Annual Report of the Foreign
Exchange Control Board, 1918. They are
summarized in the tables on page vi.
Canada's surplus on current account transac-
tions with all countries amounted to $453
million (excluding shipments of official relief),
compared with $47 million in 1947. Total
receipts from all countries amounted to
$4,139 million in 1948 compared with $3,746
million in 1947, while total current payments
were $3,667 million in 1948 compared with
$3,661 million in 1947. The increase in the
surplus was largely accounted for by merchan-
dise exports expanding more rapidly than mer-
chandise imports, but in addition "invisible
exports" (i.e. receipts from tourist trade,
freight and shipping, etc.) all showed an
increase in 1948 over 1947 whereas "invisible
imports" (payments on interest and dividends,
expenditures of Canadian tourists abroad, etc.)
declined alightly. The substantial increase in
exports of merchandise, however, was almost

entirely due to higher prices rather than
greater volume; the indications are that the
volume of merchandise exports in 1948 was
about the same as in 1947 and the volume of
imports about nine per cent less.
Important changes took place in the geogra-
phical distribution of Canada's merchandise
trade, particularly in regard to the destination
of exports. These changes are shown in the

Relatively few changes took place in the
type of goods exported from Canada, although
there was a substantial increase in shipments
of beef and beef cattle and coarse grains to the
United States following the removal and relaxa-
tion of export controls. By far the greater
majority of our exports were, as normally,
basic commodities, mainly unprocessed or
semi-processed, and in spite of the great
industrial expansion in Canada during the war
it has proved difficult to maintain as much of an
increase in exports of manufactured products
as had been hoped. During 1948 there was
some increase in the volume of these goods
M'nt to the United States, but this was offset
by a decrease in exports of them to other
countries, which, in view of their dollar short-
age, are trying to limit their imports from the
Western Hemisphere to those necessary goods,
such as food stuffs and raw materials, not
obtainable elsewhere.
Trmnsactions by Regions
The increase in exports to the United States
and the decrease in imports from that country
«ere the major causes of the improvement in
our dollar position. Our current account
deficit with the United States in 1948 was $401
million, compared with $1,135 million in 1947.
The debit on merchandise trade was reduced
from $903 million in 1947 to $289 million in
1948; there were also slight reductions in the
debits for interest and dividends, freight and
shipping, and other items, and increases in the
credit from tourist expenditures and exports
of newly mined gold.
On capital account with the United States
there was a net credit to Canada of $127 million.
In addition $770 million was received in con-
vertible exchange from countries other than
the United States, and in total these various
amounts increased Canada's holdings of gold
and United States dollars by $496 million (from
$502 million to $998 million). This compares
with a decrease of $743 million during 1947.
In transactions with the United Kingdom,
Canada's current account surplus declined
from $633 million to $488 million. While to
some extent this was caused by a decline in
exports (down to $923 million from $967 million)
it was mainly due to an increase in imports
vn
($435 million compared with $334 million),
a healthy development. With the sterling
area as a- whole and other E.R.P. countries,
however, the trend was not so good. Canada's
current account surplus with those countries
declined from $1,148 million in 1947 to $846
million in 1948, the change being covered by a
decrease in exports to those countries of $156
million and an increase in imports of $148
million. When transactions with the United
Kingdom are excluded, it emerges clearly that
the rest of the sterling area and E.R.P. countries
have used restriction of imports to decrease
their debit balance with Canada rather than
increasing sales of their products to us.
Disturbed Condition in World Trade
Here lies a serious problem concerning not
only Canada but the whole future of world
multilateral trade. As the report of the
Foreign Exchange Control Board points out,
the desirable way for the sterling area and
E.R.P. countries to correct their dollar shortage
is to increase their exports to the Western
Hemisphere rather than to curtail their
imports. Unfortunately, however, under the
stimulus to reduce as far as possible their need
for E.R.P. assistance, these countries have
recently increased restrictions on imports
from North America and have entered into a
variety of bilateral trade and currency arrange-
ments designed to facilitate trade between
themselves. Much of this trade is being carried
on at prices higher than would be the case if
North American countries were free to compete
for it, with the result that the cost and price
structures of these countries are being steadily
raised. This will make it progressively harder
for them to sell their goods in the North
American markets and this make the eventual
achievement of free multilateral trade more
difficult.
In addition to these restrictions on Canada's
exports, there are other matters to be con-
sidered. For example, if wheat should be
declared surplus in the United States, this
would automatically prevent the use of E.R.P.
funds by European countries for the purchase
of Canadian wheat, which has been a substan-
tial source of convertible exchange from
abroad. Then again, the great improvement
in our balance with the United States during
1948 was to a some degree the result of restric-
tions placed on the import of consumers' goods
and capital equipment and- on Canadians
travelling in the United States; some of these
restrictions have already been removed and
others relaxed and some increase in imports
has already taken place.
The problems posed to Canada by the dis-
turbed state of world trade were referred to by
the Minister of Finance in his budget speech.
He mentioned that some people might suggest
that Canada should follow the lead of other
countries and embark on bilateral agreements,
but he pointed out, with supporting argument,
that this could only give short-run benefit and
would in the long-run be most detrimental to
our trading position. He referred, as a positive
approach to the problem, to meetings being held
at Annecy to enlarge the scope of the Geneva
Trade Agreements, and that the Government
hopes that when the legislation now befon
the United States Congress to extend th<
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act is passed i
will be possible to conclude a further agree
ment with that country to open up wide
possibilities for the export of Canadian manu
factured goods.
